The Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad switching local that serves the industries along Armitage Street in Melrose Park Illinois, is one of those trains that make few and very "Rare" appearances.

I got lucky, and just happened to have My camera with Me when the train was backing up towards Illinois U.S Route # 12 / # 45 Manheim Road. With numerous railroad crossings marked with simple crossbuck signs, this is a train that frequently stops and goes.IHB flagmen guard the crossing for blocking traffic.
